I have Stockholm's syndrome. I ended up a huge fan of Caleb and I still question why. I loved him even if he did everything in his power to make my blood boil and my stomach turn. You can feel he was struggling with his emotions and growing affection for Livvie and that only fueled my love for him. Ms. Roberts created a world that started to feel real. Someone would talk to me in my house and I would have to snap out of it - and look up from the book....It pissed me off ...it's the equivalent of going to the beach on the hottest day of the entire summer and having someone pour a bucket of ice water on you....PISSED.

I could feel Livvie's fear and I felt like I had to be there as a witness to what was happening, even as I fell for Caleb.
